College of the Atlantic's summer programs are inspired by the extraordinary landscape and resources of coastal Maine and Acadia National Park, and our educational philosophy of human ecology. Our summer programs provide unparalleled opportunities for natural history and field-based studies, and to gain inspiration, skills, and new perspectives.
